[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 209110, member: 9789"] Cole, Humidity is by far more unpleasant to deal with especially when you are completely soaked with salt stains everywhere and dripping right in front of the customer. (But you know there was a however coming!) However, dry heat sneaks up on you and could give you heat stroke because you don't realize that you are losing fluids. From what I have seen, the drivers improvise to stay cool. Most have 5 gallon jugs of water and use it to cool them down. They park in the shade anywhere they can and the rear door goes up if they are going to be in the back for more than 10 seconds. I do agree with you that vehicles should have the best ventilation possible. But most of the drivers figure it out and do what they have to do to make the conditions bearable. [/QUOTE]
